This is another backup knife from Extrema Ratio. Extrema Ratio has taken the popular Scout and modified it to make a version that is classified as a combat version. The Defender DG (Double Guard) has a very slim shape with a fuller (aka “blood drain/groove”) that makes the Defender DG lighter without sacrificing strength. It is an excellent, fixed blade suitable for your self-defense as well as your EDC.

BLADE

The Defender DG's blade has a clean edge and a narrow profile that ends in a spear point. Its tang extends beyond the handle end to form a lanyard hole. The double guard has a lanyard hole on each side. The jimping on the Defender DG's spine gives you a pressure point for your thumb or forefinger for better control. Plus the jimping, along with the guard, prevents your fingers from sliding onto the blade. Very sharp blade.

HANDLE

Lightly textured to give you a good grip. Streamlined and removable. The Defender DG's handle has a distinctive shape that is typical of many Extrema Ratio knives.

SHEATH

The Defender DG sheath is made of Kydex. It is MOLLE compatible. Has four reinforced lanyard holes – two in each side. Automatic retention system.
